    How much water should I drink a day?

    How much water you need will depend on your age, weight, your climate, and even your activity level.

    If you work out and sweat a lot, your body needs to replenish that lost water.

    According to WebMd, you should try to drink at least 1/2 oz -1 oz per each pound you weigh.

    Why should you drink lots of water?

    For some people, it's because of a new year's resolution, but why is drinking water so important?

    Here's just a few reasons to drink more water:

    • keeps your skin smooth
    • helps your kidneys flush toxins out of your body
    • helps digestion
    • prevents constipation
    • helps prevent period cramps

    How do I start drinking more water?

    1. Add flavor to water, like lemon juice or lime juice.
    2. Set a timer to to remind you to drink water or use an app on your phone.
    3. Use a HidrateSpark smart water bottle to track how much water you are drinking and give you reminders.

    1.Add flavor to water.

    A few drops of lemon juice or lime juice can help if you prefer drinking something with flavor.

    Another great option is Hint water which comes in a variety of flavors (pineapple being our favorite). They also have caffeinated water too!

    2. Set a timer to remind you.

    Have you ever gotten so busy you forgot to eat, let alone drink water.

    I think a lot of us really do forget about drinking water so using a timer or a reminder app on your phone can be a great help!

    3. Use a smart water bottle.

    Seriously, what will they come up with next? All kidding aside, this smart water bottle is actually pretty cool!

    It tracks how much water you are drinking and syncs with your phone to give you reminders as well as an overall look at how much you have been drinking in a day.
